I Made Marshmallows From Scratch & The Store-Bought Ones Lost
I made marshmallows completely from scratch — and then I ran them against store-bought in a head-to-head test. Spoiler: the homemade ones won.
In this video I show you exactly how to make soft, squishy, vanilla marshmallows at home (the real deal — no sandy, grainy texture), then put them through three tests: the squish test, the browning test, and the s'mores test. Then I melted them down into Rice Krispie treats and even recreated a Disney-inspired Mickey Mouse version you can make for a fraction of the park price.
